People also forget that between being bought out by Calgary and signing in Tampa, Martin St. Louis was cut in camp by the Senators, too.
Also, speaking of Gilmour (who's been mentioned in this thread a few times), a lot of people also forgot that his last game played in his career was in Calgary. He played one game for the Leafs in 2003 but tripped awkwardly over Phil Housley a period into the game and that was the end of his career.

St Louis wouldnt have made it in the league full time, if the Flames weren’t so terrible back when, and with no other answers, took a chance on calling him up from (and signing him to) the farm.
Leafs fans and media were choked about Gilmour, everything from calling it a dirty play by the Flames for Gilmour injury to bad ice and officiating. Iirc it was Lowry and Gilmour locking knees. It was Gilmour first game as a Leaf in his second go around, after getting picked up by the Habs. And last.
That was also supposed to be McAmmond’s second debut as a Flame, as the Flames got him back from Colorado, but he was ineligible because you couldn’t reacquire a guy you had traded that same season (Drury trade).
